Good morning family, friends, and page watchers. I have a new series you must get your hands onto. Of course, there's one major flaw, which I must disclose to you before I give this novel countless accolades. I was distraught when I flipped to the last page or listened to the last track on the CD, only to find that there's a book two but was unable to find the audio version. Talk about being bummed! When you're sitting behind a desk for hours keying information, and the one thing I have to look forward to is getting lost in a world unlike none other. Let's just say the rest of my day didn't go as planned.
     Jennifer Malone Wright's, "Keeper vs. Reaper" offers readers a new world. So what's the story about? Well..., there's this family that's responsible for protecting the souls of those roaming inside the graveyard. And the reapers--I'm sure you can imagine who and what they are. The main character, Lucy, discovers something about herself that changes her life, but what does that mean? Unfortunately, you will have to read the book to find out. However, what I can tell you is this, Wright has brought something worth reading and she has gained a new fan, me.
     Coming from a large family with overprotective siblings, Lucy finds herself attempting to prove that she is ready for the responsibility of keeping the graveyard souls safe. Yet, when all hell breaks loose and Lucy becomes involved with the enemy, things get dicey.

An engrossing, compelling read that deserves more than five stars. Written with a new flare offering something fresh to the world of books that readers desire and crave.

I give "Keeper vs. Reaper" 5 Stars and can't wait to sink my mind into book two.

Happy reading folks.

Laurell K. Hamilton's Affliction

Title: Comes With Everything

Good morning family, friends, and page watchers. Talk about a fast pace novel with some of the most entertaining, chin dropping, and arousing love scenes that will have reader's blood boiling. It took me only one day to finish this page turner. And by the end of the day, I was surfing the internet for more. 
     Author Laurell K. Hamilton has very intriguing imagination that captures book-lover's attention. This story is written with such an easiness that despite the main character, Anita Blake, crazy life, readers can settle right into the story. However, I have to admit there's one flaw that unfortunately I could not overlook. There's so many characters and moving parts that at times keeping track of everyone felt like a chore. Then again, in all fairness, I did drop into Hamilton's world without reading the first book(s), which is probably why it felt as if I had been thrown into a world filled with countless were-animals with back stories unknown to me. 
     Since I refuse to spoil this read for you, let me keep this review short and sweet. There's sex, killings, physical combat, and oh yeah, a freaking outbreak of zombies killing and turning people. 

Laurell K. Hamilton you have gained another book lover fan. I give "Affliction" 4 stars.

How do you stop a crime that has not been committed? That is the issue for Detective Samantha Reilly when she receives information about a murder that has not happened; especially when that information comes from high school freshman, Michael.

Seeing Evil is a suspense thriller that will keep you turning every page. After a traumatic event, author Jason Parent’s main character, Michael, awakens with a strange new talent. The teen’s new ability enables him to assist Samantha in solve a missing person’s case. He is deeper into darkness when a shy and abused girl, Tess Masterson, asks him to look into her future. What he sees sends him right to Samantha. Together Samantha and Michael will try to prevent one murder. Meanwhile, Michael tries to save the woman that had rescued him.

You will be drawn into the struggle that Samantha faces between serving her community as a detective and fighting to stay alive. In addition, Michael is a character that most can relate to, the severely misunderstood kid who just wants to make it through high school. This well-written book is a quick read, seeing, as you do not want to set it down. It is perfect for a cold day with some hot cocoa.

I give Seeing Evil 5 out of 5 stars.

Enjoy!
